Chapter 1- soldier/therapist
Nia's POV
"How long has it been since you had last sex?" Paulen asked taking a sip of her liquor looking directly at me. Wow way to go she's asking me about my sex life as if she's asking about the weather. I looked around to see if anyone heard what she had just asked me but everyone was either on the dance floor or at the bar drinking and minding their own business and if the man beside me that looked to be in his forties with a bear belly noticed he was too busy clunging down beers to notice and if he did he sure as hell don't show it.
"Will you just stop asking that. And why are you so persistent in knowing about my personal life?. And fyi a year" my best friend gasp looking at me with wide eyes in horror. I rolled my eyes at her, she's being dramatic one year isn't that long- okay maybe it is but t it's not like I'm gonna die without it.
"A year! How are you still living? I won't be surprised if you had cobwebs on your vagina and spiders making their home there for how long your p***y has been inactive! You need to live a little. Loosen up a bit you're acting like a fifty year old woman" I glared at my best friend for seventeen years in anger, I was offended by her comment and I know that she was right but my anger seems to over take my senses.
"Sorry that i don't have the time to be fucking all day everyday like you.tyu Unlike you some of us has work like where we get paid to do things for a living not just sit around." As soon as the words had left my mouth I had instantly regretted it. Paulen was anything from dependent if anything she was the most hard working person I've ever met. Paulene was born into a rich family, she was the heir to their shipping company but she never wanted to do business, she was passionate about art so when she had told her parents that she didn't want to do business but art they had cut her off and decided that since she's not doing what was expected of her they wouldn't pay for her tuation. she had worked her ass off to get a full scholarship and got a job at a local cafe. She had got her degree but when her grandfather had died and left her a hefty sum of money she had decided to take a year off and enjoy herself.
"Wow, that was low even for you Ryan. And if that's how you feel, I think I should not assotiate myself with people who thinks so Lowely of me" she drowned the rest of her drink taking up her purse and walked off.
"Lene, wait-"she walked away not sparing me a glance, I sigh turning around in my seat slumping my shoulders. Great! I had just have to ruin everything with my big mouth.
Perhaps Paulene was right, I needed to loosen up a bit and live a little in the moment even if it is for one night and then tommorow I could be the boring ole me again who only thinks about work an in order to do that I'm gonna need some liquid courage.Glancing at the drink before me, it was still full. I stared at the drink a little bit longer then decide you know what fuck it. I drowned the liquor slamming the glass down on the counter ordering another one.
After about my fourth drink I could feel my vision going blurry but I still threw my hand around the glass bringing it to my lips emptying it's contents.
"Don't you think that's enough for one night?"A deep voice came from behind me, startling me. I looked up at the intruder's face, squrting my eyes trying to make out his face through my blurry vision sending him a scrowl but I doubt it looked like one.
"Not nearly enough" I muttered going to grab the next one but before I could wrap my hand around the next a hand snatch it up, I watch open mouthed as the man in front of me drink it all then slam the glass on the counter.
"How about somethig else to let out your frustrations out!" A smirk tugged at his full pink lips winking at me.
"If you're suggesting me having sex with you it's a no" I said turning around back in my seat, playing with the rim of the glass since if I ordered I have a feeling he's gonna drink it.
"Who said anything about sex, I was simply suggesting that you talk about it, since I'm a single stranger and all it helps that you won't see me again. But sex would work too."
"And why would I do that?"
"Well, firstly, it helps getting things off your chest and secondly, you don't have to worry about me telling anyone about it that you know. It helps to talk"
"What are you, a therapist or something" I snorted making eye contact and looking at him for the first time. To say he's thick would be an understatement, the man was made up of pure muscle making him look bigger than everyone standing close to him. He stood about 6'4 tall with curly blond short locks, his eyes were a dark green almost black colour with hint of blue in them, and I only noticed that because of our close proximity. All in all the man before me was handsome.
"Yes, actually. I'm a therapist in the army" well that explains why he's so thick I wonder what else is-
Nope, not going there. snap yourself out of it Nia.
"I'm Zedrain by the way" he said extending his hands with a smile.
"Nia" I said sliding my hands into his, his rough calloused hand swallowed my soft ones, he didn't let go and neither did i. We just sat there staring into each other's eyes.
"You're very beautiful, you know that" he said letting go of my hands leaving my hands cold but continued look
A smile stretched across my lips "So I've been told"
"So what's you're answer are you willing to take the risk?"
Lene's word rang in my ears.
You have to live a little. Loosen up a bit
"How about sex without the talking" I said rather Bluntly surprising myself and Zedrain.
"That works too"
